Commodity Market Report
Global copper short-term outlook January 2022
Report summary
2022 looks set to be another volatile year for copper prices. A confluence of rising geopolitical tensions, inflation and energy costs, as well as the ongoing impact of Omicron on labour availability, is likely to impact the market over the short term. Nevertheless, demand in the world ex-China looks set to remain strong this year, especially over the first six months. This should underpin high prices.
